This movie has a twist to it but like all of Preston Sturges’ movies, it wouldn’t be one if it wasn’t one. OK. Joel McCrea plays a director who makes nice little movies; He graduated from a Ivy League school and life is good; Yet, he decides to stretch out and make a movie called Oh,Brother Where Art Thou? (sounds familiar? well the Coen Brothers finally made a movie on this same title over sixty years later based on this).So he takes to the road as a hobo(mind you, this is still the days when folks still hitched rides on trains getting around the country); Well, he hitched rides,meets Veronica Lake on the way, and somehow ends up on a work gang behind it and the movie folks somehow feels he was dead. Mind ya, this was before DNA, positive ID etc in the end though all is straightened out and accomplished.
